Friend –

On Sunday, June 4, we'll be celebrating trans joy and marching in the Milwaukee Pride Parade in Walker's Point – and we want you to join us! We'll be at PrideFest, too, and we're hoping to turn out as many people as possible in solidarity and love for our LGBTQ+ community!

If you're in the area and would like to march with us in the parade, you can sign up to volunteer. Please note: This link will take you to a third-party website, mobilize.us. Once you sign up, an ACLU organizer will reach out with more details. We'll have a banner, signs, and free Trans People Belong t-shirts for everyone who shows up. We'll also have a booth at PrideFest on Thursday through Saturday, so make sure you stop by and say hello! Please note: This link will take you to a third-party website, pridefest.com.

LGBTQ+ Wisconsinites – particularly trans youth – have been under constant attack by politicians who have made anti-LGTBQ+ bigotry and discrimination a central part of their political agendas. This is a moment where we can come together as a community, spread joy, and affirm and celebrate LGBTQ+ people exactly as they are.

Be sure to read our recent op-ed in the Cap Times on trans rights in Wisconsin, take the pledge to support trans youth in Wisconsin, and follow our LGBTQ+ rights page for more ways to engage.

We'll never stop fighting for a world where all LGBTQ+ people can live authentically and be themselves. We hope to see you at Pride!

Sincerely,

ACLU of Wisconsin
